Phillip Island is happening as I tap this. I went yesterday and had I not managed to lose my ticket I might have headed back today.
With all the hassles Co-vid has given the world, it was nice to be at an event for the first time since November 2020. It turned into a perfect Autumn day at the Island yesterday - blue afternoon skies, blue sea and some interesting cars and people about. So neither drowned rat or crispy burnt, that can be part and parcel of a visit to PI (sometimes in the same day).
Added a few trinkets to the book collection, notably one of the Klemantaski albums that's already been put to use in the Alta thread. A nice copy of John Barraclough's autobiography "When I Grow Up' and grabbed the chance to get an 8th edition of Dick Willis 'Optimism' book on Aussie specials direct from the man himself. Thank you for the nice inscription Dick. These amongst a bit more until the budget was spent.
The lack of international entries (for obvious reasons) meant the stuff I find interesting in the first few garages weren't so interesting. But as we know the guard of historics is changing as age catches up with drivers and cars.
Photos to follow when I get a bit more organised.
